Honestly no-one I know has ever been allowed to do one skip let alone two. In fact according to ds7 the gifted kid who was allowed to go up despite missing the cut off at another school and then was homeschooled was forced to repeat a year when starting at my son's school. I must check that.
It depends on the kid really. He may find he relates with the kids 2 years older better or he may find it too stressful in PE etc. Is there anyway that until he gets used to a new school he could do subject acceleration instead? I do think not having to bus to another school for the gifted programme is good but since NZ doesn't have gifted programming I don't know how much of a problem that is.
